sAsH-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,895, dated June 9,1891.

i Appligation filed February 18, 1891. Serial No. 381,966. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES EDGAR AN- GELL, of Salt Lake City, in thecounty of Salt Lake and Territory of Utah, have invented a newCombination Sash Lock and Lift for Windows, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists in a device of novel construction for lockingsliding windowsashes as against burglars and others and for lifting ormoving the sash when unlocked, substantially as hereinafter shown anddescribed, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specilication, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l represents a front View of a window-sash and window-frame inpart with my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a section at right angles tothe face of the sash upon the line 2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectionupon the line 3 3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a face view of the escutcheon partof the lock or device. Fig.

is a face view of a thumb-piece forming the lifter hinged or pivoted toa key which controls the sliding bolt of thelock; Fig. 6, aface end Viewof the key, and Fig. 7 a longitudinal view thereof.

A is the lock-case, which is mortised into the outer marginal side ofthe sash B next to the window-frame C, up and down and within which thesash slides.

The lock comprises a bolt D, which is normally pressed outward -by aspring l) within the lock-case against the Window-frame, so that it willshoot into or enter any one of aseries of holes c in the window-frameand hold the sash at any desired height, to be determined by thepositionof the bolt-holes in said frame. fitted to slide backward and forwardwithin a'correspondinglyshaped grooveway d in the lock-case back of theescutcheon E, which is arranged on the face of the sash.

The bolt D is held back when not required to engage with the holes c, oris disengaged from the bolt-hole in the window-frame when required tomove the sash up or down by or through the operation of a combined key Gand thumb-piece H, entered fronr'the face of The bolt D is preferably around one,

The key is in the form of a bolt having a square shank, on which isfitted a cam or other suitably shaped tumbler l, that passing through aslot in the grooveway d ent-ers a longitudinal slot e in the bolt D toact upon the latter to draw it back when required, the

spring l) pressing against the front end of the slot e to shoot the boltD forward when not restrained by the key.

To operate the key Cr, which occupies a transverse position relativelyto the lockingbolt D, said key is turned axially in a given direction toslide or hold through the tumbler I the bolt D back, as shown by dottedlines in Fig. 3.

Tov tit the key to its place within and through the escutcheon, whichlatter is of box-like construction, the back of the escutcheon has ahole fin it adapted to receive the key through it and a notch g on theside of said hole to permit of a stud h on the key passing through it.The key having its stud 7L in line with the notch g is entered Withinand through the escutcheon and then turned to its permanent position,which puts the stud out of line with the notch, so that when theescutcheon is screwed home the key G is prevented from coming out.

The thumb-piece H is hinged and secured by a pivot-pin t to the forwardendof the key G, and is let into the front of the sash or escutcheontherein, the inner end or hub portion of the thumb-piece being free toturn Within the enlarged opening 7c in the front of the escutcheon,except when the key is locked by a vertically-sliding dog or catch J,passing through a hole in the key. This dog orcatch is bent so as to beoperated from the outside by its bent arm passing out through an uprightslot l, in connection below with the opening k in the escutcheon andbent above to form a side notch m.

lVhen the sash is locked, the dog or catch .l is engaged with the key G,as above, which prevents the key from being operated to draw thelocking-bolt D back, thus adding materially to the security of the lockby interference from the outside; but when it is not required to lockthe sash the dog or catch .l is lifted out of engagement with the key Gand its outwardly-bent arm turned and dropped into the sash within andthrough the escutcheon.

ICO

the side notch m, which holds the dog or catch J raised. The thumb-piece1I may then be turned into a ixed approximately horizontal position, asshown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the same turned transverselyorlaterally to turn the key G and unlock the bolt D by the tumbler` I.Said thumb-piece H, too, when thus raised, serves as a lifter of thesash to open or close it, as required.

A combined sash-lock and lift or lifter constructed as described securesa positive lock for the sash not easily opened from the outside and notdependent upon merely frictional contact, and is in no Way dependentupon or affected by conditions of the weather or sprinkage ofthe parts.The lock, too, when applied has no detached parts, the whole contrivaneebeing always in place and ready for instant use, the key controlling thelockingbolt being an attached part of the lock, and an easy manipulationeither in the dark or light sufcing to operate the lock or lift thesash, as required.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A combined window-sash lock and lift consisting of a positivelockingbolt adapted to automatically engage with bolt-holes in thewindow-frame, an attached key for operating said bolt, a pivotedthumb-piece applied to the outer end of said key, adapted to operate thekey and serving as a lift or lifter of the sash, and an adjustable dogor catch adapted to engage with the key to prevent the latter fromturning to act upon the locking-bolt, substantially as speciiied.

2. In a sash lock and lift, the combination, with a sliding locking-boltand a spring for shootin g said bolt, of a rotatable keyattached to saidlock, arranged in transverse relation with the locking-bolt and providedWith a tumbler for drawing back the latter, and a hinged pivotedthumb-piece attached to the forward end of said key, essentially as andfor the purposes herein set forth.

In a sash lock and lift, the combination, with the lock-case A and itssliding bolt D, of the escutcheon E, having an opening fin its rear andside notch g, and the rotatable key G, provided with a locking orretaining stud 7L, substantially as described.

4. In a sash lock and lift, the combination, with the attached key G,which controls the bolt of the lock, of the cscutcheou E, having a frontopening k and an upright slot Zin connection therewith, terminatingabove in a side notch m, the sliding dog or catch J, adapted to engagewith the key and with the slot Z and notch m, and the pivoted thumbpieceIl, essentially as specified.
